You’re the future

By FRED MERRIMAN
Dear Danny,

| know you drive a Spider Monza and | am sure you are driving the girls
crazy with your handsome gocd looks.

You have time on your side, therefore | would like to take this opportunity to
advise you that you have a beautiful, powerful tiger by the tall. That tiger,
complete with stripes, has enough energy and potential to turn this spinning
world around backwards or upside down. That tiger | shall name ‘The Future."

| am speaking to you because | think that you and others like you don't know
that you are at the controls of much more than just a Spider Monza.

All | could do was dream of having a hot car. You have one. All | could do
was dream about driving the girls crazy. For you It Is all a reality. :

Yes, | wanted to have things, right now. | wanted the fresdom to do as |
pleased at a time which was convenient to me. | was unable to do so. My parents
forbade such self-centered behavior and most Importantly neither myself nor my
parents could afford It.

However, it Is differant with you. What can a twenty-year-old do with
$24,000 a year when he's atill living at home? You could get married and that
would bring the pay cheque down to slze. Why do that when you have a traplino
that keeps you jumping like a kid In a candy store? | know a young man In
Kelowna who had to decide between a hot car and marriage. He opted for the hot
car and still has money In the bank.

What | am trying to say, man, Is that you have it made and a lot of us old
fogeys are watching you carefully to see how you use your youth, money and
freedom. Some of us may be suffering from a twinge of jealousy or a twinge of
regret that we were born In a Depression and had to live through a time of war
and ratloning. f i E

School was a tlme of preparing for the military. | knew more about the
firepower of a Spitfire than | did about the latest hot car. So we are all rather
Interested to see how you handle yourself because you are the future.

Enjoy yourself while you can, but please give some thought to the future
when you make your decision to ‘‘over enjoy.’’ It reminds me again of the war
when the word “‘overkill'? was bandied about.

bam concerned that you will not realize how fortunate you are, wallowing in
the fruits of your predecessors efforts. Your predecessors may become more
than Jealous — they may become angry. If they do, and when they become so

yourself.

irritated that they begin bringing down stifling legislation that curtails your
. freadom to do as you please, then you know you have gone too far. ‘
We are counting on you to have a goal which wil! not only help you but just
might be designed to help others, particularily those who are less fortunate than”

Camp Rory: the ideal setting
for unforgettable summers

Guiding Release

To most young people,
the end of June means the
beginning of the summer
holidays.

But to Girl Guides and
Guiders in the Kootenay
area, June 80 has another
meaning — the beginning of
the glorious camping days at
Camp Rory.

: Camp Rory is situated
about nine kilometers south
of Rossland off the highway
going to the port of entry at
Patterson.

This location has every-
thing to offer: mountains to
climb and ‘explore, creeks,
wildlife, plants and swim-
ming in the camp's pool.

:” : The camp has the neces-

conveniences. It is divid-

‘into two parts — a large
ent ground and another area
here cabins, kitchen-dining
room, and smaller buildings
: are located.
i But perhaps the greatest
= gift a stay at Camp Rory has
: to offer is the friendship of
: the girls and their leaders.
: This year, 110 Guides
: and Guiders camped at Camp
: Rory from June 30 to July 8.
: They came from Canal Flats,
: Kimberley, Invermere, Spar-
: wood, Fernie, Cranbrook,
Creston, Nelson, Silverton,
Nakusp, Kaslo, Castlegar,
: Genelle, Trail, Rossland and
. Grand Forks,
: In camp there were
many activities such as swim-
: ming, nature walks, games,
learning new skills, crafts
: with scrap materials, new
songs, campfires, and skits
based on the theme of the

Guide Units at Camp
Rory were named for the

world centers are located:
India (Sangam House), Swit-

There is something un-
forgettable about early morn-
ings in summer. To take
advantage of them, the camp

Alt 43 of the -
province's 75 school districts
are participating in the large-

to refine the content and

need challenge.

“It is essential that the
school system challenge all
pupils to the limit of their
ability,” McGeer said. “The
core curriculum does it for
most, and we have special
programs for those who learn
below the level of the core.
Now we are taking the first
step in a plan to provide a
higher level of intellectual
activity for pupils who have
the capacity and desire to

Ask people what qualit: -

Beauty is seldom ment-

body of evidence to support *

the view that physical attrac-
tiveness is more powerful

“The only thing that
mattered—for women or for
men—was looks," said Glenn
Wilson of London's Institute
of Psychiatry,

At the Universities of
Minnesota and Wisconsin,

them to gauge the personal-
ity traits of the people
depicted.

Attractive people came
out ahead on all counts.
